When you install Works 9 on a computer that has an earlier version of Works installed, the Works 9 installation program removes the earlier versions of Works. However, programs that were installed earlier as part of the Works Suite remain on the computer. These programs are included in the Works 9 Task Launcher. To access these programs, click the Programs tab in the Works 9 Task Launcher.
